Greetings everyone. Today I turned on the TV right at the moment when the local Russian TV company was transmiting a programme covering mystical origins of the human civilization. What rivetted my attention was the part where the narrator explores the possibility that our ancestors might have been giants-shapshifter (ignore sanity). The narration was accompanied by a number of images including this one: http://i46.tinypic.com/16bagpg.jpg
A moment after I saw this I realized it is Rakshas, one of Griffiths accomplices.

Nowhere I found any records mentioning that this particular piece of art belongs to Kentaro Miura. I find such an appoach impropriate. Miura deserves credit. Now I would not cause any ruckus in case if it had been someone else, but I just felt bad for Kentaro.

I have no idea if this is prosecuted by law (it might not, or it is simply not important enough to care about). I tried to find e-mails of Miura's publishers in order to notify them but I am afraid I failed(. The web-sites were in Japaneese and Google Translate was not much of a help. Hell, Ctrl+F "@" was not much of a help to find their e-mails there!

And so I was finally forced to register on the forums hoping that someone of you might know their contacts. I won't judge the usual content of REN-TV (that's the TV company), but I was exasperated by this. Sorry if you find this not worth discussing :darn and thank you for your time.
